SUBTEXT: IMPROVISING BETWEEN THE LINES
Monday, Oct 20, 2025 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
So much of theatre and movies isn't so much about what is being said but what isn't being said. Doing this in improv when we are creating in the moment is quite challenging but bringing subtext to our scenes can elevate our scenes and shows into something magical. It requires deep listening, an understanding of body language, and a vulnerability of performance that can be difficult to capture.This workshop will explore the idea that the words we say can be made secondary to the feelings and stories we share dancing in between those lines of dialogue.

PROFESSOR YES: How to Teach Improv (New release!)
Wednesday, Oct 22, 2025 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Sharing the magic of improv with new students is one of the most rewarding aspects of improv. But it can also be one of the most daunting. This workshop covers how to prepare for a class, design the workshop, run exercises, watch a scene, and how to give notes kindly but directly.
Students will: teach other exercises and get feedback on their teaching, develop a workshop outline and learn to revise it. The class will also discuss how to handle difficult situations, the difference between teaching a workshop and coaching a group and close with a Q&A session.
Students are expected to be experienced improvisers (>60 hours of classes and performing) and bring pen/pencil and a notebook.
*Scholarships are available for teachers of Impro Neuf and community builders. Please contact [email protected]

BE YOURSELF: FINDING YOUR VOICE IN IMPROV
Friday, October 24, 2025 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
It's all too easy to dismiss ourselves, to say that we aren't good at what we do, that our ideas just don't measure up. Too boring, too obvious. Not clever, not charming. We just don't have the same "stuff" that we admire in others. Too easy to tell ourselves that we should hide ourselves in a cave.This workshop will get us to face the fact that we all have stories worth telling, that we all have ideas worth sharing. We will learn to take up space, to speak from our perspectives, and to believe in our own contributions.
